MRS. PoTTER'S DEBUT.
The Engagement Likely to Prove a
Success.

New YORK, Nov. 5.-"Have you been to
the beauty show!" is what they say now,
when what is meant is have you been to see
Mrs James Brown Potter display her re-
spectacle mediocrity of latent and warmth
of physical charm upon the stage!
As an ex-amateur Mrs. Potter challenges
comparison with Mrs. Langtry, of course.
She is a woman of slighter physical proper
tons than Mrs. LaDgtry, and looks much
smaller and less warmly beautiful upon the
stage. She has figure and face expressive
of refinement and good breeding and is full
OF grace-in drawing room. Can she actf
What question. She has beautiful gowns.
Is she beautiful herselfl Certainly she is in
a way, but there are many more beautiful
women on the stage who can act to boot.
She may develop talent Indeed, il is not
unlikely that with practice she will. But
nobody cares about that now. People didn't
pay thousands of dollars in first night
premiums and exhibit some millions of
dollars in jewels, making one continuous
flash from boxes to orchestra chairs when
the curtain vent up out of any anxiety
about her acting. Dear no; they wanted to
see If her relations were there, and if $50
ciety" would countenance her They
wanted to see if Mrs. Burton Harrison, who
promised to stand by her, would be in the
house, and if Mrs John Sherwood was there,
and if the aristocratic tribe of Potters and
their kin applauded or the reverse. They
had been trying to find out if her cousins
had called on her and would at least see if
they sent up flowers New York. is never
above curiosity. Liberal advertising of the
kind that isn't paid for-that began as long
ago as 'Osler Joe, worked up to the Prince
of Wales and eliminated in a picture of
wifely devotion at her husbands bedside,
will always tell.
The Potter engagement is going to be
success, and after all though there is plenty
that is meretricious and belongs to a shoddy
civilization about it, there is less scanda.
than in the Langtry case to live down.

SOME "REMINISCENCES
Connected With the Old Brick Bibb
County Jail.

Macon (Gd) Cor atlanta Constitution.
Capt Simpson grew reminiscent Friday
during his incoming. and told some addi-
tional stories concerning the old Jail.
There have been enough tears shed within
its ancient walls to furnish water for
making up the mortar for q similar build
ing.
In the basement was located the "buck-
ingn place, where slaves were beaten in the
olden times When one grew unruly he was
taken down there, stripoed and the lash
applied in a manner more or less vigorous,
according to the taste of the whipping boss.
One of the saddest stories connected with
the jail history was the suicide of Maxwell.
a young man who came to Macon with a
considerable amount of money, got among
dissipated companions and squandered it.
He became infatuated with Nellie Hutch
ings, and after getting into the lookup, he
was released without money or friends, and
he and Nellie started to walk to Atlanta.
Capt. Simpson was then captain of the
police force, and he met them out near Vine
vile, and succeeded turning them back
from their wildgooSe ramble.
Maxwell returned, almost delrious with
drink, and he and Nellie separated, she get
ting tired of his conduct. Later in the day
he walked into the Office of the Jail. wrote
a short note, and picking up large navy
revolver, he placed it to his temple, fired,
and sank on to chair dead.
When Mr.. Upton was assistant keeper of
the jail, he had to cut Sam Bass, burly
negro, with his knife to prevent his escape.
Bass was pretty rough character. He had
gone through the war as body servant to
his master, Mr. Bass, who lived in South
west Georgia
After the war Smart got to being a regu-
lar thief, and he was arrested by an officer
near Butler and put on the train for Macon.
Conductor Cozott had charge of the train,
and when it slowed up at Butler Bass shook
loose his captors, and springing from the
train began race for liberty Several
started in pursuit, among them Conductor
Cozott. They were gaining on Bass when
he turned and fired as he ran, the shot
striking Cozott and killing him instantly.
Bass was recaptured and placed in Macon
Jail. One day he seized on favorable op-
portunity and rushed past Keeper Upton,
who struck him as he ran, plunging the
blade of long knife into his spine and
breaking it off. Bass fell paralyzed and
after that was never able to move himself.
Finally, although wasted to a mere skele-
ton, he was carried to Butler and hanged.
When Tinny was jailed, and Mr. Noutz,
who is still alive, was one of the guards, a
big negro tried to escape and was shot and
killed on the stairway.
The old Jail will be torn down now, as il
stands ON two of the lots purchased by Messrs.
Jacques, Horne and solomon, and will
make room for either residences or business
houses.

WHAT SOBERED HIM.
The Experience of a Man Who Wanted
One More Drink.
Non. the Macon (Ga.l telegraph.

OlO n0OIo OIlllk.
From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
Many amusing things occurred during
fair week, when the city was filled with
people that were lost sight of in the general
rush.
story is told of an old veteran who
made gallant soldier during the war and
who lives in the country now, coming to
town only on state occasions. These occa-
slonal visits are invariably the times when
the old soldier does all his drinking, and
being done all in lump generally unlim
DerS him to that extent that he loses sight
of everything except the fact that he wants
more liquor. 1t seems that the last drink
taken before he fell by the waysde was at
Vannucl's, on Mulberry street. After
thiit was blank until SUNDAYS afternoon.
In his perambulations he met up with
friend who had some whisky left over from
the Saturday night supply, and as a matter
of course the old soldier was as drunk as
lord again. In short while he wanted one
more, and he remembered Vannucki's place.
lie managed to elude the police, and seeing
the door of keatings undertaking establish
ment open, mistook it for Vanuuclli'S next
door, and which, of course, was closed. He
walked in, and seeing no one around, sat
down in chair to wait for the barkeeper.
While waiting he lowered his head between
his knees and fell asleep, his hat dropping
to the floor.
Seeing him asleep, some one placed
little coffin at his feet After an hours
Slumber he awoke, and looking down for
his hat, discovered the coffin He opened
his eyes wide, to make sure he was not
dreaming, and looking steadily at it for
fully minute. Then he arose from the
chair slowly, keeping his eyes upon the
coffin, and made brisk start for the door.
As he was going out, he gave one more look
at it, and then, with hat in hand, ran as
fast as he could to the depot, arriving there
as sober as judge. He took the first train
for home, and it will probably be many
moons before he will get drunk again in

events have taken in public, in secret he is
hoping that convulsion may ensue that
will smash the tribal relation of the Chero-
KEGS, break up the system of holding land lli
common. and convert the Cherokee prlncl-
patty into Territory of the United states.
Hence, Bushyhead is supporting Rabbit
Bunch for chief. Perhaps there Is more
than one reason for this If common report
here has any foundation in fact, Bushyhead
is not anxious that his political opponents
should have an opportunity to look
at the books" There is little
matter of S25, 900 that mysteriously
disappeared a couple of years ago, and Mr..
Bushyhead was the last person in whose
company it was seen. The Downings made
a good deal of noise about that during the
campaign, and it is believed that its venti-
lation had much to do with the success of
Mayes at the polls. But whatever may be
the causes, whatever may be the motives OF
the leaders, there is no doubt that the public
mind of the Cherokee Nation is badly agi-
tated at present. A row is expected, and
there is a general belief that it cannot be
averted The
PEOPLE ARE ALL ARMED.

uted during the past week. Two-thirds of the
people of the nation will be i'll TahIequah
next Monday, and if the National Council
counts IN Rabbit Bunch to the chieftaincy
the Downing people will Immediately com
mence hostiities. If war enSues it will be
bloody one II will be carried on in the
Indian fashion in all likelihood, though the
participants will be largely white men.
Bushyhead has everything in readiness to
turn over the cheftaincy to Bunch,
and consequently the Nationals will be apt
to have the law on their side and the Down
ings will be dubbed rebels. Rabbit Bunch
is ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS. He is as near
being Cherokee with all the native in
stincts as any man in the nation. He
served in the Union army during the war,
and has always been a politician. Joseph
Bryant Mayes the Downing leader, was a
ma ior in the Confederate army. He has a
splendid plantation about thirty miles from
and was Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the nation for ten years.

AN HONEST SHEEP THIEF.
He Protected Large Sums of Money fol
His Master but Stole Mutton

He Protected Large Sums of Money for
His Master but Stole Mutton.
English Illustrated Magazine
Such tracts of open country, moors and
uninclosed hills were the haunts of high
waymen till late period, and memories of
the gallows and of escapes from them are
common. A well-to-do farmer, who used
to attend Bristol market and dispose there
of large quantities of stock and produce,
dared not bring home the money himself
lest he should be robbed. He intrIlsted the
cash to his drover. The farmer rode along
the roads, but the drover made short cuts
on foot and arrived safely with the money.
This went on for years, in which time the
honest fellow--a mere laborer-carried some
thousands of pounds for his master faith
fully delivering every shilling. He had,
however, a little failing-a dangerous one in
those days, when the gallows was the pun
ishment for sheep stealing He was known
to be sheep stealer and actually, after
bringing home &lO0, would go and put his
neck in danger the very same night by TAX
ing sheep. This went on for some time;
people shut their eyes; but at last patience
was exhausted and efforts were made to
catch him in the act but without success.
One night he came home in the usual
manner from market, delivered the cash
and went to his cottage. Next day little
girl was sent on an innocent errand to the
cottage, with orders, while she was there, to
look sharply round and observed if there were
any ashes on the floor. She came back with
the news That there was heap of wood ashes.
immediately posse set out and the drover
was arrested. The use of the ashes by sheep
stealers was to suck up and remove stains
of blood, which were certain to be left i'll
cutting up the animal Sufficient proof
was found in the cottage to condemn, the
honest thief to be hanged; great exertions
were, however, made in his behalf, and
principally it is supposed, on account of his
character for carrying large sums of money

A SPRINT-RUNNER'S LEGS.
1t is the Length of the Muscle and No
the Thickness That Counts.


the Thickness That Counts.
D. A. Sargent in Scribner's Magazine
We feel prepared to maintains that rela-
lively long limbs, with short body, full
chest and small bones, will characterize the
typical short-distance runner wherever he
may be found. Short races 200, 200 and
40 yards are often won by a few inches,
and the value of an inch or two in a run
ner's stride is of the greatest importance,
for, other qualifications being equal, this
man Is bound to be f1rst at the goal
The small girth of the legs of runners is
often mystifying. From the girth of a
muscle we get correct idea of its volume
or transverse diameters, but learn little of
It's length and the extent of its contractile
hbres. Whereas it is the length of the mus
Gle, and not the thickness, that is of Signifi-
canoe to t-dlstance runners. Given the
physiological fact that muscle can con-
tract about one-third of its length, it will
readily be seen that the longer the muscle
the greater will be the movement of the
part to which it is attached To the runner
the desired movement is in the elevation of
the thigh and the extension and fiexion of
the leg and foot An instantaneous
photograph of sprint-runners shows
that the range in the movement of the
limbs is very extensive-the stride of
a fast walker being from to feet, and
that of a fast runner from to feet If
the stature is short, it is necessary for the
runner to get a greater elevation from the
ground at each step in order to maintain a
long stride. When this is done relatively
long lower leg is of the greatest advantage
This fact is admirably brought out in the
case of Myers, the professional runner.
With height of feet ~ inches, which is
a little below the mean, or 30 per cent.
class, he has length of lower leg which
corresponds to a man over feet 10 inches
IN height, length of thigh usually found in
men of 5 feet 8 inches, while the sitting
height is the same as that which makes up
the stature of men of ) feet inches.
